As much as those that have taken, or must take, courses to be able to carry, there are no specific statistics that show WA, PA or VT are more dangerous that say NM, which has unlicensed open carry, but for a CC license the requirements are a bit overboard (IMHO) Actually, for reported ND's that I heard about in WA last year? Cops 3, CPL holder 1. Cops have more manditory training every year than an state requires for a carry license, yet, in a state with no manditory training for our CPL (and there are almost 400,000 active CPL's in WA, and an unknown number of people that carry (legally) without a license) there was one reported NG discharge. I do not know how many LEO's are in WA but I would bet it is less than 400,000 |

Kentucky requires an eight hour class that includes lecture time, written test, and range time with a score of 11 hits out of 20 shots at the 7 yard line.
I think the training is especially good because it teaches you the law about where you can / can't carry and under what circumstances you may / may not use deadly force. Well worth the time and money. |

Ok Coyote, that would mean there are somewhere around 35k officers in WA.. Last specific number I heard on CPL's was 395k+ and going up at about 4000 a week.
Warrior, There is also unlicensed OC in KY, Can you tell me if unlicensed OC people in KY have more problems that licensed CC people? I don't think so. What is it about a government mandate that one size fits all, makes it good? In WA it is your responsibility to know the law. They had you a bulletin that has all of the firearm laws and safety tips. It is what is used in hunter safety training, and tell you...you need to know what is in this, study it. Requiring individual responsibility usually generates individual responsibility. Yes, it is YOUR responsibility to know the laws..even if you take a week's instruction...it is still YOUR responsibility. In WA no-one can say, "but my firearms instructor did not teach us THAT".

So getting back to the original question, which was "What state has the most in depth CC course requirements?" ... is there any doubt that Texas wins the prize?

And an additional bonus: Take the 49'ers and give the 3.5 Sunday. San Francisco fan since 1957. So caveat emptor.
